I think I have some problems!! Does anyone else miss their bronco when they go out of town without it? I can't wait to get home and drive it. Haha

Nice! I'd wheel that.

[ChaseTruck754]

Me too.

Always liked the pre tacoma toyos. Put Ivan glass on um & they are sexy as hell! Too bad the cabs are just so dang tiny - even with the extracab!

Yeah drove a 92 Toyota pickup for awhile. It was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever driven. I think they built it for people who are 5' tall. Plus the bench seat is like sitting on a plank of wood haha. Dat 22re tho. Torquey.

[ChaseTruck754]

yup. Brother had an '85 with the 22re. Great motors. Cool trucks too - just small. Dad had a '93 or so with the bench seat & I don't remember it being bad at all. It's been years though. Brothers truck was more recent, but it had beards

Do you really need a traction bar?

So I know some of the guys who have been around for a long time (Chasetruck) may recognize this.. Like 10 years back I started building a full tube frame prerunner.

Well....I sold it like 2 or 3 years ago and the new owner just sent me pics of it all done. Wasn't quite the route I was taking, but with a 514 and 44's the things gotta be a blast to drive!

You mean not done?!

Wow!! Mud racer extraordinaire! I always wondered what a repurposed 1450 would look like.

READ son! I said vIsion, not vERsion! hahaha


And all this talk reminds me about my "vision", which is currently gathering dust in a buddy's shop. Oh, and then that other one in the garage, and the one in the RV access, and then that last one in storage

On another note, and completely ignoring my last post above from earlier, here is my random thought for the night.

Yes the girls are asleep on the couch & I'm here with my mind wondering a bit... Gotta love the pic of that early bronco sand car the new girl posted earlier...

1994 Ford Explorer Dimensions
2 Door Wheelbase = 102.1 in
4 Door Wheelbase = 111.9 in
2 Door Overall Length = 174.4 in
4 Door Overall Length = 184.3 in
Width = 70.2 in

1974 Ford Bronco Dimensions
Wheelbase 92 in
Overall Length 151.5 in
Width 68.5 in


And just for fun, since Chris W did it...

1994 Ford Bronco Dimensions
Wheelbase = 105 in
Overall Length = 183.6 in
Width = 79.1 in

why?

[ChaseTruck754]

Just one of my typical brain farts...

I've had a thing for Early broncos recently and I've also had the wild hair going to buy a cheap exploder to use just to get my butt back in the seat/dirt.
I then just had an idea pop into my head to throw an early bronco body on an exploder frame to stretch the bronco & get TTB. Exploder would end up with d44 in it. Probably easier to just put TTB on the early bronco frame, but those broncos are $$$ currently and exploders can be had for $500 or so.

None of this is going to happen any time soon or even at all. It's just where my mind goes when I haven't had enough shop time recently to remind me how long building stuff actually takes.
